How Cryotherapy Can Help CrossFit Enthusiasts

June 1, 2017

CrossFit is a highly intense exercise program. It combines aspects of multiple fitness activities and sports. Athletes have fun, burn numerous calories and strengthen their bodies, but they can also suffer from severe soreness. This frequently becomes a serious problem for CrossFit enthusiasts who take part in grueling regional and national competitions.

Demanding Workouts

One example of an especially arduous event is the CrossFit Open. It lasts longer than a month and involves many pain-inducing exercises. Even if a competitor remains young and stays in excellent health, the workouts may lead to persistent discomfort. No amount of practice can fully prepare the body for these competitions.

Pain in muscles and joints

Fatigue raises risk of illness

Hard to start the next day

CrossFit competitors in their twenties frequently have difficulty recovering from such events. They feel considerable soreness and experience aches in their muscles and knees. This doesn’t only happen as a result of the competitions. These events necessitate daily training that also triggers significant discomfort on a regular basis. Fortunately, cryotherapy can help athletes recover from training and competitions.

Local-application cryotherapy also assists CrossFit enthusiasts who only engage in this activity occasionally or choose to limit its intensity. Older individuals and people with joint problems may appreciate the effects of this treatment. Furthermore, cryotherapy offers benefits that can improve performance and enable athletes to exercise more vigorously without injuring themselves.

Cryotherapy Advantages

This recovery technique helps CrossFit enthusiasts sleep well and begin the next day without lingering aches. It prevents “workout hangovers” that make it difficult to train on a daily basis. Athletes often find that cryotherapy has a tremendous impact by completely changing how they feel. This gives them a major competitive advantage without producing harmful side effects.

How it Works

Extreme cold therapy delivers a wide range of benefits by eliminating toxins and stimulating the production of endorphins. This process relieves inflammation, reduces soreness in muscles and decreases pain in joints. It boosts the immune system, allowing athletes to continue competing and training without the interference of germs. This holds special importance when heavy workouts trigger fatigue and stress.

Cryotherapy has numerous traits that don’t directly relate to CrossFit exercises but nonetheless yield better performance. For instance, each session induces weight loss by burning as many as 800 calories. This treatment also alleviates muscle spasms, headaches, osteoporosis and arthritis. It strengthens muscles while enhancing a person’s rate of metabolism.

Burns calories and fat

Helps the immune system

Reduces inflammation

Extreme cold therapy is based on the same concept as the ice bath, but it’s superior in most ways. These baths require CrossFit enthusiasts to suffer prolonged, direct exposure to icy water. Ten minutes can feel like an eternity under such conditions. On the other hand, cryotherapy rejuvenates and energizes athletes. It cools flesh without inflicting pain or damaging muscles.

I've been coming to Advanced Cryo for a couple of months now. It's perfect before a workout as it gives me tons of energy. I also pop in after a long flight to ease sore muscles. I've noticed a peak in my performance at the gym and during cardio. I visit Advanced Cryo twice a week and that seems to work well for me.
The spa is very clean, the staff are super friendly, and knowledgeable! They supply everything I need for my Cryo session.
They also offer IV therapy which I tried for the fist time last week. I had a 1200mg glutathione injection and my skin was glowing the next day. The nurse is very professional. I'll be back weekly for this service as well.
Fantastic facility!!!

I wanted to try IV vitamin cocktail for a while now, heard great things about it. The experience was awesome. Being a first timer I had a lot of questions and concerns. The nurse on staff is very knowledgeable. She recommended Executive Anti stress cocktail with addition of Amino Acids and Glutathione, because I told her that I feel weak and have a grueling schedule between work and gym. I was served delicious tea and fruits while I was enjoying a cool view of Manhattan bridge through the window. The results were amazing! The cocktail left me full of energy for the next few days and I will be back for more. Highly recommend the place! Definitely talk to the nurse and tell her your needs and she will customize the cocktail for what you need the most. Great experience overall.

One of the best experiences I ever had for a recovery in the city. The location is easy and accessible the staff is very helpful and friendly. I'm a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu athlete and my training is very Intense on top of my regular strength and conditioning training recovery is a key component in my training program. My first cryotharapy session was fabulous very very cold but it felt great after it was done and my body settled in itself. Advanced Cry NYC is the place to be hands down.
